Project Summary
QSoft Vietnam took over mobile app development for a patient engagement and centralized health record platform (HIPAA communication) and delivered working and rebuilt/enhanced iOS and Android apps. The vendor provided design (UX/UI), a mobile framework, and a milestone-based plan; the team of about six to seven people executed the project. The app has launched with positive reception for its aesthetic, performance, and usability, though the client noted the need to strengthen QA.
Key Challenges
- Develop a mobile app version for iOS and Android for a centralized health record and HIPAA communication platform
- Support patient engagement features such as appointment scheduling, reminders, messaging, video calls, and lab questionnaires
- Ensure understanding of U.S. healthcare IT requirements and HIPAA compliance
Project Deliverables
- Mobile app for iOS
- Mobile app for Android
- Rebuilt and enhanced app version
- UX/UI designs and approvals
- Project plan with milestones
Project Solution
The vendor provided a mobile app framework and built two versions of the application: an initial working app based on remnants from a prior vendor and a rebuilt, enhanced version with additional functionality. They produced UX/UI designs for approval, organized work into milestones with a business plan and timeline, and executed development via separate iOS and Android subteams under a project manager. The team worked to understand U.S. healthcare IT needs, including HIPAA considerations, and communicated daily with the client.
Project Outcome
- Major enhancement to the app's look, feel, and intuitiveness with positive reception
- Improved aesthetic, performance, and capability according to user feedback
- Project management rated 7/10 for responsiveness and communication
- App launched and has received positive early feedback (no quantitative metrics available yet)
